So, I’ve always been fascinated with the idea of having a virtual reality simulator that allows you to walk around, and the game tracks your movements. With Kinect I figured we were stepping closer to that reality, but there were faults and of course no one has made a way to have force feedback for actions in the game. Well, it seems that we’re actually starting to get closer to that realization, including the force feedback.
It’s a portable omni-directional treadmill, which is designed by Swedish company MSE Weibull. The simulator lets you control the movements of a Battlefield 3 character with your own body. The system incorporates an Igloo Vision projection dome, 12 paintball markers that allow the player, in real time, to feel the enemy gunfire experienced in the game, a wireless gun system, ambient LED lighting, and an Xbox Kinect camera hack.
Anyone else seeing a possibility of this being added into Arcades eventually? I know it would be expensive, but we can dream, right?
